Oh, Nancy Cartwright. Your work on The Simpsons is the stuff of legend. You helped make Bart a household name. You make Nelson the funniest cartoon bully and Ralph the funniest cartoon buffoon child. You've no doubt made enough money that, if you decided to turn it into gold coins, you could fill a giant concrete room with it and swim around like Scrooge McDuck.
Instead, you decided to donate $10 million to the Church of Scientology.
I don't even know what to say about that. It's hard for me to joke about Scientology since the "religion" itself seems like such a joke to me. Plus, I've already blogged once about the Church's biggest accomplishment, the continued deterioration of Tom Cruise's mental stability.
Still, it's interesting to note that Tom only gave $5 million over a four-year span. Nancy gave $10 million in 2007 alone. Is she trying to usurp the Church's No. 2? Will we soon see her wed to the lifeless remains of L. Ron Hubbard?
Dang, Nancy. You could be swimming in a pool of gold coins right now.

And just what makes you think YOUR God has any more importance than anyone elses God?
Thats one of the many problems these days. NO-ONE has any respect for anyone else. I can bet that there has been enough money given in the name of Jesus over the years to end world poverty. And yet we still have world poverty.
And I suppose that ALL Muslims are cold blodded killers & There will be no asians in heaven cause Buddah aint Jesus to right?
Open mind for a different view. Nobody is even asking you to change your beliefs... Just respect them is all.
I am sad that someone elses money means that much to you.
Wow. Let's not be putting words in my mouth. I'm not talking about Muslims or Buddhists here. I'm talking about Scientology. We're not comparing apples to apples here. I do have respect for all religions, but when the level of committment to a religion is based heavily on how much money you're able to contribute to the Church, that doesn't sound like much of a religion to me.
My opinion, by the way.
